1 Scope

Experimental and calculation procedures for deriving the temperature index (TI) and relative temperature index (RTI).

According to FTFM, the aging process occurs within a few fixed time periods, each time using an appropriate aging temperature point, at the corresponding time... At the end of the interval, the performance of the sample is measured. This method differs from the procedure in GB/T 11026.1, where the aging process... The process is completed at a few fixed temperatures, while performance measurements are taken after the aging time, based on the aging process.

The diagnostic tests used in the fixed-time method are only applicable to destructive tests, not to non-destructive tests or validation tests.

According to FTFM, the TI and RTI obtained from the test data in this document conform to GB/T 11026.1 and GB/T 11026.2, and have been verified.

The calculation procedures and statistical tests have been revised from the corresponding procedures in GB/T 11026.3 and GB/T 11026.7.
